After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Well, actually he didn't say much. Your dad first cried and begged me to give him money, but I said I didn't want it."

"Then he said, 'How about I give you the Zhu Daji character?' I said I was even less interested then, and that's about it..."

Ye Bai answered casually as he brewed tea.

The thought of Zhu Tianming's check made his heart bleed.

If it were given to him by the Queen of Qin, how wonderful that would be; he could have simply announced his retirement.

What the hell are you doing doing this damn job?!

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

"cut!"

Upon hearing Ye Bai's answer, the two girls, who had never gotten along, surprisingly agreed in unison and expressed their contempt for Ye Bai.

The only difference was that Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes beautifully, while Zhu Daji raised a slender, jade-like middle finger.

After drinking tea and resting for a while, Zhu Daji once again suggested taking Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing to continue their tour of the Zhu Family Manor.

When visiting such wealthy families, it's certainly impolite to leave right after finishing the meal.

In particular, Madam Zhu pulled Old Madam Qin aside and said that she had recently learned a new opera and wanted to hear what she thought of it.

Such exchanges between opera enthusiasts can easily last for one or two hours.

Although Zhu Daji took Ye Bai for a stroll in the morning, the Zhu family manor was simply too large.

In that short time, they hadn't even covered a fifth of the distance.

Under normal circumstances, it would probably take more than a day to visit the entire Zhu Family Manor.

This place is like a large park, with mountains, water, and forests.

The world of the wealthy is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Neither Zhu Yuhuan nor Zhu Hongyun accompanied them this time, for a simple reason.

They were afraid of Qin Wanqing.

Although Ye Bai and Shen Lu had already explained that Queen Qin really didn't eat people, those two silly kids clearly didn't believe it.

Prejudice is truly a mountain.

Of course, it was also because Zhu Daji's brainwashing was too successful.

This great demon is mediocre in other areas, but it has a real talent for this.

No one expected that Ye Bai and his group had only been strolling around for a dozen minutes when the burly Iron Hammer quickly found them.

"Miss, there's been a bit of trouble..."

Upon reaching Zhu Daji's side, Tiechui spoke in a low voice with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Bai and the others, as if what he was about to say was not suitable for others to hear.

Just as Ye Bai and Qin Wanqing were about to leave, Zhu Daji snorted irritably, "How many times have I told you? You're a grown man, why are you always so fussy! Just say what you want to say, do I have some unspeakable secret?"

Iron Hammer said helplessly, "It's because of the fight at the boxing gym. They're saying that the Zhu family was bullied by the Qin family, and everyone's clamoring for revenge..."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai suddenly realized what was going on. He exchanged a glance with Shen Lu and found that the little girl's face was once again filled with excitement, as if she was eager to try.

Qin Wanqing was somewhat confused, as she was unaware that Shen Lu had knocked Zhu Hongyu, a member of the Zhu family, unconscious that morning.

Even if she knew, Queen Qin probably wouldn't care.

In her view, it was only natural for the Qin family to beat up the Zhu family.

If it weren't for the fact that her grandmother and Madam Zhu had such a good relationship, she would have beaten Zhu Daji until she cried for months.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings! Why didn't you stop them?"

Zhu Daji immediately felt ashamed. Zhu Hongyu had already been beaten up, which was embarrassing enough. It would have been fine if she had just let it go.

But now that things have escalated like this, the situation has become quite serious.

If word gets out, the Zhu family's reputation will be damaged.

When the Qin family came to visit, the Zhu family not only provoked them in various ways, but they were also beaten up in the end. It was incredibly humiliating.

What's most infuriating is that Hammer is a coach, even if he's just an assistant coach. He should be able to keep those idiots in check.

In terms of combat prowess, Iron Hammer is one of the top bodyguards in the Zhu family.

Even though the Zhu family members had all practiced boxing for some time, with the longest period being three to five years, they still couldn't withstand a single move from Tie Chui.

This resulted in Iron Hammer having a high level of prestige in the boxing gym, and in theory, he shouldn't have been unable to control such a small situation.

Iron Hammer sighed: "It was Zhu Jiuyou who granted it."

"...I knew it!"

Zhu Daji stomped her feet in anger. She wasn't stupid; she had already realized this, but she just needed this final confirmation.

Without Zhu Jiuyou's support, those members of the Zhu family might not have dared to cause trouble.

Although he was only an adopted son of the Zhu family, Zhu Jiuyou had extremely high prestige among the Zhu family members because of his outstanding abilities and skills, even surpassing that of Zhu Daji.

It's obvious who is more useful: a young lady who does nothing all day and will eventually get married, or an adopted son who holds great power in a freight company.

Unfortunately, even Zhu Daji was somewhat helpless in this situation.

She wasn't Qin Wanqing, and didn't wield as much influence among the Zhu family's children.

"How does the Zhu family plan to take revenge?"

At this moment, Qin Wanqing, who had already figured out the whole story from Shen Lu, walked over and asked Tiechui in a calm tone.

"Miss Qin, they want to say that the Qin family's victory was unfair, so they want to have another fight..."

Iron Hammer answered respectfully, somewhat embarrassed.

The Zhu family's actions were rather unrefined.

It's one thing to lose to a little girl, but to make a scene afterwards is clearly a sore loser.

Even if the Qin family refused, he couldn't say anything.

"No problem, then go ahead."

To his surprise, before he could finish speaking, Qin Wanqing nodded in agreement.

"...You really intend to have Lulu fight them in the arena?"

Looking at Shen Lu, who was practically jumping up and down with excitement, cheering "Long live Miss!", Ye Bai frowned slightly.

If it were any other member of the Qin family, Shen Lu would certainly have no problem with her current strength.

However, it would be troublesome if Zhu Jiuyou were to personally take the stage.

That adopted son of the Zhu family is definitely not weak.

Even if it's not as strong as a hammer, it's at least no worse than a hammer.

In short, she is definitely not someone Shen Lu can handle right now.

"Do you think I'm like you, making a little girl handle everything?"

Qin Wanqing glared at Ye Bai and said irritably.

"...So you're going to let me do it?"

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief, his expression turning strange.

Could it be that this woman has finally realized how formidable her husband is? Does she know that I am the one-in-a-million master?

Just as Ye Bai was pondering whether to take the opportunity to ask Queen Qin for some appearance fee, he heard Qin Wanqing scoff disdainfully, "You? Forget it! I don't want to see you getting beaten up and crying for your parents. You may not be ashamed, but I can't afford to be!"
